What this study is about
The proposed clinical trial aims to assess if a year of treatment with a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, a medication approved for weight management that also improves the body's response to glucose and insulin, can slow kidney growth in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who are overweight or obese. The study will also evaluate changes in abdominal fat and kidney metabolism using cutting-edge images techniques. Blood and urine samples will provide further insight into biological changes that may be linked to the benefits of the intervention, while ensuring careful monitoring of safety and tolerability.
A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
